Ranbir Kapoor talks about his uncle Randhir Kapoor and how he is showing early signs of dementia
Actor Ranbir Kapoor has uncovered that his uncle Randhir Kapoor is showing early indications of dementia. The veteran actor has been heartbroken since the demise of his siblings Rishi Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor. He has often talked about the void that their demises left in his life.
Talking to NDTV, Ranbir said, “My uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, and he came to me after the film, said, ‘Tell dad that he is amazing, and where is he, let’s call him’. Art crosses boundaries of medical conditions… And a good piece of storytelling really embodies that.”
Prior, in an interview with The Times of India, the veteran actor said in 2021: “The last year has been a very sad time in my life. Sad is really a modest word here; worst would be apt. In a matter of 10 months, I lost both my darling brothers- Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and Chimpu (Rajiv Kapoor). Also, I lost my mother (Krishna Kapoor) and sister (Ritu Nanda) in the last two-and-a-half years.”
He added, “We, my three brothers and two sisters, were extremely close to each other. Chintu, Chimpu, and I interacted with each other every day. Chimpu lived with me and Chintu either came to the office on the days that he wasn’t shooting or spoke to me on the phone. We didn’t need anybody when we three were together. We were a very happy circus by ourselves. We were a robust crowd! All that is over. There’s not a single day that I don’t think about them. One year may have passed but there’s not a single day that I don’t think about them. Life will never be the same again.”
